A.  GENERAL BOG POLICIES.  BOG IS A UNIT(SLASH)INDIVIDUAL MANAGEMENT
METRIC BASED ON TIME IN THEATER, DEFINED AS THE CENTCOM AOR FOR 
OIF(SLASH)OEF, AND SPECIFIC TO THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.  THE BOG POLICY
IS THAT UNITS AND(SLASH)OR IA'S WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR NOT MORE THAN 
365 DAYS BOG.  "UNIT" BOG IS MEASURED FROM THE DATE THE MAJORITY OF
THE MAIN BODY OF THE UNIT ARRIVES IN THE AOR UNTIL THE DATE THE 
MAJORITY OF THE MAIN BODY OF THE UNIT DEPARTS FROM THE AOR.  
"INDIVIDUAL" BOG IS MEASURED FROM THE DATE OF THE IA'S ARRIVAL IN THE
AOR TO THE DATE OF THE IA'S DEPARTURE FROM THE AOR.  ONLY SECDEF CAN
EXTEND A UNIT OR INDIVIDUAL (IF IT IS INVOLUNTARY) BEYOND 365 DAYS.
EVEN IF A UNIT OR INDIVIDUAL IS DEPLOYED TO THE AOR FOR LESS THAN THE
365-DAY LIMIT, ANY PROPOSED INVOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF A UNIT OR 
INDIVIDUAL 14 DAYS OR MORE BEYOND THE ORIGINALLY ADVISED REDEPLOYMENT
DATE MUST BE REQUESTED BY COMUSMARCENT TO CDRUSCENTCOM, INFO CMC, AND
APPROVED BY SECDEF.  THE ORIGINALLY ADVISED REDEPLOYMENT DATE IS THE
ON OR ABOUT RETURN DATE ON THE MARINE'S(SLASH)UNIT'S 
INDIVIDUAL(SLASH)GROUP TAD ORDERS/UNIT DEPLOYMENT ORDER (DEPORDER) AT
THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT.  THIS DATE MAY BE SPECIFIED IN THE ORDERS OR
ESTABLISHED BY THE STATED DURATION OF THE ORDERS.  NORMALLY WHEN THE
DURATION AND(SLASH)OR ORIGINALLY ADVISED REDEPLOYMENT DATE OF A TAD
ORDER CONFLICTS WITH (E.G., IS LESS THAN) THE DURATION AND(SLASH)OR
ORIGINALLY ADVISED REDEPLOYMENT DATE OF A DEPORDER, THE DEPORDER 
TAKES PRECEDENCE. 
B.  BOG POLICY FOR UNITS SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY FOR LESS THAN 365 DAYS
BOG.  UNIT DEPLOYMENT LENGTH WILL BE IAW REF D.  MARINES ASSIGNED TO
AND DEPLOYED WITH UNITS SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY FOR LESS THAN 365 DAYS
BOG WILL BE ISSUED TAD(SLASH)DEPLOYMENT ORDERS THAT CONFORM TO THE 
DEPLOYMENT DURATION OF THEIR ASSIGNED UNIT AND ADHERE TO A UNIT BOG
CLOCK, PROVIDED THE MARINE HAS THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OBLIGATED SERVICE
TO DO SO.  COMUSMARCENT WILL TRACK AND SUBMIT BOG WAIVER REQUESTS FOR
THESE UNITS IAW REF C.  THE ONLY EXCEPTION SHALL BE FOR A MARINE WHO
VOLUNTEERS AND IS APPROVED TO EXTEND PAST THE UNIT'S ORIGINALLY 
SCHEDULED REDEPLOYMENT DATE.  REQUESTS FOR INDIVIDUAL MARINES TO 
VOLUNTARILY EXTEND WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE MARINE'S CHAIN OF COMMAND
AND INFO CMC (MM,MP,RA) AND COMUSMARCENT.    
C.  BOG POLICY FOR UNITS AND STAFFS SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY FOR 365 DAYS

CMC (MM,MP,RA) TO OR INTERNALLY REDISTRIBUTED (I.E., TEMPORARILY
REASSIGNED VIA TAD ORDERS) AMONG THE MAJOR SUBORDINATE COMMANDS OF A
MEF, TO A UNIT OR STAFF SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY FOR 365 DAYS BOG WILL BE
ISSUED TAD(SLASH)DEPLOYMENT ORDERS THAT CONFORM TO THE DEPLOYMENT 
DURATION OF THEIR ASSIGNED UNIT(SLASH)STAFF, NOT TO EXCEED A 12 MONTH
(SLASH)365 DAY BOG AS DEFINED IN REF C, PROVIDED THE MARINE HAS THE
REQUIRED MINIMUM OBLIGATED SERVICE TO DO SO, AND PROVIDED THE MARINE
IS NOT IN RECEIPT OF PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION ORDERS (PCSO'S) FROM
CMC (MM), OR IN THE CASE OF ACTIVE RESERVE MARINES, CMC (RAM), WITH
AN EFFECTIVE DATE THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE DEPLOYMENT ORDERS.  A UNIT
BOG CLOCK SHALL GOVERN AND WILL BE USED TO MANAGE THE BOG OF ALL 
ASSIGNED MARINES.  COMMANDERS ARE EXPECTED TO APPLY A FIRST-IN(SLASH)
FIRST-OUT POLICY AND HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN
THEIR MARINES FROM DEPLOYMENT AS CLOSE TO THE UNIT BOG CLOCK MARK OF
12 MONTHS(SLASH)365 DAYS AS POSSIBLE.
D.  BOG POLICY FOR IA'S AND MARINES ISSUED INDIVIDUAL DEPLOYMENT
ORDERS (NOT PART OF A FORMED UNIT). INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTS, AS DEFINED
BELOW IN PAR 3.K.1 AND INDIVIDUALLY DEPLOYED MARINES ARE RESTRICTED
TO NO MORE THAN 365 DAYS INDIVIDUAL BOG AS DEFINED IN REF C.  MARINES
IN THIS CATEGORY WILL BE ISSUED TAD(SLASH)DEPLOYMENT ORDERS THAT 
CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BILLET ASSIGNED NOT TO EXCEED 12
MONTH(SLASH)365DAY BOG AS DEFINED IN REF C, PROVIDED THE MARINE HAS
THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OBLIGATED SERVICE TO DO SO, AND PROVIDED THE 
MARINE IS NOT IN RECEIPT OF PCSO'S FROM CMC (MM), OR IN THE CASE OF
AR MARINES, CMC (RAM), WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE THAT CONFLICTS WITH THE
DEPLOYMENT ORDERS.  COMUSMARCENT WILL TRACK AND SUBMIT BOG WAIVER 
REQUESTS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS IAW REF C.   
E.  EXCEPTION TO BOG POLICY FOR INTERNALLY REDISTRIBUTED MARINES WHO
ARE IN RECEIPT OF PCSO'S FROM CMC (MM,RA).  CMC (MM,RA) RETAINS THE
AUTHORITY TO PERMANENTLY REASSIGN SUCH MARINES WHEN THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF PCSO'S CONFLICT WITH INTENDED DEPORDERS.  IF A MEF DESIRES TO
RETAIN SELECTED INDIVIDUAL AC AND AR MARINES ASSIGNED BY CMC (MM,RA)
BEYOND THE INDIVIDUALS' ANTICIPATED REASSIGNMENT DATE, BECAUSE OF 
INTERNAL REDISTRIBUTION, A SPECIFIC REQUEST TO RETAIN THE MARINE MUST
BE SUBMITTED TO CMC (MM,RA) FOR APPROVAL.  DEPLOYMENT STATUS REPORTS
AND STABILIZATION ROSTERS CANNOT BE USED FOR SUCH REQUESTS AS THEY
EITHER DO NOT APPLY TO INTERNALLY REDISTRIBUTED MARINES OR DO NOT
PROVIDE ADEQUATE CONTROLS.  IN THE DECISION PROCESS CMC (MM,RA) WILL
CONSIDER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REQUESTING MARFOR,MEF, AND MSC, THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CORPS, THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE 
MARINE, AND THE PERSONAL DESIRES OF THE MARINE.  
F.  UNITS SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY TO THE CENTCOM AOR IN EXCESS OF 180 
DAYS ARE AUTHORIZED TAD IN EXCESS.  MARINES ASSIGNED BY CMC 
(MM,MP,RA) TO THESE UNITS OR INTERNALLY REDISTRIBUTED AMONG A MEF
AND ITS MSC'S ARE AUTHORIZED TAD IN EXCESS AND WILL DEPLOY FOR THE
DURATION OF THE DEPLOYMENT FOR THEIR ASSIGNED UNIT, PROVIDED THEY 
HAVE THE REQUIRED MINIMUM OBLIGATED SERVICE TO DO SO, OR UNLESS 
OTHERWISE PROHIBITED ELSEWHERE IN THIS MARADMIN.

MAINTAIN RECORDS THAT CLEARLY SHOW A MARINE WHO REMAINED DEPLOYED
PAST THE 365-DAY BOG LIMIT DID SO VOLUNTARILY (I.E., AN APPROVED 
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION REQUEST).

ONLY SECDEF MAY APPROVE THE INVOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF A SERVICE
MEMBER TO REMAIN DEPLOYED PAST THE 365-DAY BOG LIMIT.  IAW REF E, 
COMMANDS SHALL MAINTAIN RECORDS THAT CLEARLY SHOW A SERVICE MEMBER
WAS INVOLUNTARILY EXTENDED PAST THE 365-DAY BOG LIMIT, AND SUCH
RECORDS SHALL INCLUDE A COPY OF SECDEF'S APPROVAL FOR SUCH AN
INVOLUNTARY EXTENSION.  INDIVIDUALS INVOLUNTARILY EXTENDED PAST 365
DAYS BOG MUST BE PAID $800.00 PER MONTH IN ASSIGNMENT INCENTIVE PAY
AND $200.00 PER MONTH OF ADDITIONAL HARDSHIP DUTY PAY.

THEIR DEPLOYMENT IS NOT AUTHORITY TO INVOLUNTARILY EXTEND THE
MARINE'S ORDERS TO ACTIVE DUTY.  AUTHORIZATION TO EXTEND A MARINE'S 
ORDERS TO ACTIVE DUTY REQUIRES SPECIFIC AND SEPARATE AUTHORIZATION. 
J.  DURATION OF TAD ORDERS NORMALLY INCLUDE SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENABLE
PREDEPLOYMENT INTEGRATION(SLASH)TRAINING, DEPLOYMENT, BOG, 
REDEPLOYMENT, AND POST DEPLOYMENT PROCESSING.  COMMANDS HAVE THE 
AUTHORITY TO ISSUE TAD ORDERS TO THEIR MARINES ASSIGNED BY CMC 
(MM,MP,RA) WHO ARE DEPLOYING IN SUPPORT OF OIF(SLASH)OEF TO THE
CENTCOM AOR, FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME NECESSARY TO CONFORM TO THE

K.  INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTS.  
1.  DEFINITION OF JOINT IA REQUIREMENTS.  A JOINT IA IS AN UNFUNDED
TEMPORARY DUTY POSITION (OR MEMBER FILLING AN UNFUNDED TEMPORARY DUTY
POSITION) IDENTIFIED ON A JMD BY A SUPPORTED COMBATANT COMMANDER TO 
AUGMENT STAFF OPERATIONS DURING CONTINGENCIES.  THIS INCLUDES
POSITIONS AT PERMANENT ORGANIZATIONS REQUIRED TO SATISFY A 
"HEIGHTENED" MISSION IN DIRECT SUPPORT OF CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.  
EITHER AC OR RC PERSONNEL CAN FILL JOINT IA POSITIONS.  AN INDIVIDUAL
MOBILIZATION AUGMENTEE (IMA) RESERVIST FILLING, OR ACTIVATED TO, 
THEIR IMA BILLET IS NOT CONSIDERED AN IA (PER CJCSI 1301.01C).  
HOWEVER, ALL IMA'S ARE PROCESSED AND TRACKED IN THE MANPOWER 
REQUIREMENTS TRACKING MODULE (MRTM) (SEE MAID-P, MCO P3000.19).
2.  DEFINITION OF USMC INTERNAL IA REQUIREMENTS.  USMC INTERNAL IA 
BILLETS ARE OTHER THAN JMD REQUIREMENTS THAT INCLUDE:
A.  AN EMERGENT INDIVIDUAL MANPOWER REQUIREMENT NOT ON AN APPROVED
TABLE OF ORGANIZATION; OR
B.  A CONTINGENCY CODED TABLE OF ORGANIZATION BILLET; OR
C.  A VACANT CHARGEABLE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE SPACE 
DIRECTED FOR FILL BY CMC (M&RA) DURING PERIODS OF HEIGHTENED MISSION
POSTURE. 
3.  ALL IA (JOINT AND INTERNAL) REQUIREMENTS ARE SOURCED AND TRACKED
IN THE MRTM.    
4.  IA DEPLOYMENT DURATION.  IA'S, SOURCED EXTERNAL TO A MEF, 
TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO DEPLOYING UNITS, DEPLOY FOR THE DURATION OF 
SCHEDULED DEPLOYMENT OF THE UNIT AUGMENTED, BUT NOT TO EXCEED 365 
DAYS INDIVIDUAL BOG.  HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:
A.  NORMALLY, CMC (MM) ASSIGNS AC IA'S FOR SEVEN MONTHS, BUT MAY
ASSIGN MARINES LONGER, GIVEN THE SUPPORTED COMMANDER'S IA 
REQUIREMENT.  CMC (MP) NORMALLY ACTIVATES AND ASSIGNS RC IA'S FOR 12
MONTHS, BUT MAY ASSIGN MARINES FOR LESSER DURATION GIVEN THE
SUPPORTED COMMANDER'S IA REQUIRMENT.  THE SUPPORTED EMPLOYING FORCE
COMMANDER, WHEN SUBMITTING IA REQUIREMENTS, MUST IDENTIFY ANY
SPECIFIC BILLET THAT WILL REQUIRE RC IA ACTIVATION LONGER THAN 12
MONTHS.  REGARDLESS, DEPLOYMENT DURATION WILL NOT EXCEED THE 365-DAY
BOG LIMITATION.  
B.  IA'S ARE TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO A DEPLOYING FORCE FOR SUFFICIENT
TIME TO ENABLE PREDEPLOYMENT INTEGRATION(SLASH)TRAINING, DEPLOYMENT,
BOG, REDEPLOYMENT, AND POST DEPLOYMENT PROCESSING.  THE APPROVAL OF
AN IA REQUIREMENT TRACKING NUMBER FOR A PERIOD OF 12-15 MONTHS IN 
MRTM GRANTS A COMMANDER THE AUTHORITY TO WRITE TAD ORDERS THAT ENABLE
PREDEPLOYMENT INTEGRATION(SLASH)TRAINING, DEPLOYMENT, BOG
(NOT TO EXCEED 365 DAYS), REDEPLOYMENT, AND POST DEPLOYMENT 
PROCESSING, NOT TO EXCEED THE PERIOD IN MRTM.

THEIR ASSIGNED BY CMC (MM,RA,MP) AC-AR-RC MARINES THAT FILL IA 
BILLETS DEPLOYED IN THE CENTCOM AOR ISO OIF(SLASH)OEF, WITHOUT 
REQUESTING APPROVAL FROM CMC (MM,MP,RA).  REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY 
EXTENSION OF AN INDIVIDUAL BEYOND HIS ORIGINALLY ADVISED 
REDEPLOYMENT DATE IS APPROVED ONLY BY CMC (MM,MP,RA) OR THE MARINE'S
PARENT COMMAND, DEPENDING ON WHO ORIGINALLY AUTHORIZED THE MARINE'S
TAD(SLASH)DEPLOYMENT. 
M.  AUTHORITY TO APPROVE TAD IN EXCESS, FOR ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OTHER 
THAN DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS ABOVE AND 3.L., REMAINS WITH CMC 
(MM,MP).
N.  REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION AUTHORIZATIONS UNDER PARAGRAPH 3.L. OR 
3.M. MUST INCLUDE THE INFORMATION IN PAR 3.O., AND INCLUDE A POSITIVE
ENDORSEMENT FROM THE APPLICABLE USMC COMPONENT COMMANDER.  REQUESTING
COMMANDS MUST INFO THE GAINING OR SOURCING COMMAND ON ANY SUCH

INDIVIDUAL FOR MORE THAN 14 DAYS BEYOND THE ORIGINALLY ADVISED
REDEPLOYMENT DATE MUST BE REQUESTED BY COMUSMARCENT TO CDRUSCENTCOM,
INFO CMC, AND APPROVED BY SECDEF.

ORDERS AUTHORIZING(SLASH)APPROVING TAD IN EXCESS CONTAIN THE 
FOLLOWING TWO STATEMENTS TO ENSURE THE MARINES ARE PROPERLY PAID:
(1) "APPROVAL FOR TAD IN EXCESS OF SIX-MONTHS (180 DAYS) IS
